Trusted HVAC Specialists in Davenport, FL

Performed diagnostic on recently installed HVAC system, less than one year old. Customer reported ongoing issues with the equipment and was very concerned and requested that the issue be addressed today. Upon inspection, found the outdoor unit in lockout with four flashes on the Sense board. Reset the system and checked compressor amp draw and voltage drop; both were within normal range. Continued troubleshooting to determine the cause of the Core Sense lockout. While inspecting the electrical disconnect, found one line overheating with visible burn damage at the pull-out disconnect. Contacted the office and spoke with Adam. Replacement of the pull-out disconnect was approved N/C. Replaced the damaged pull-out disconnect and tested system operation.

Performed a diagnostic on a 4-ton Viking unit. Customer stated the system continues to freeze up after the duct replacement upgrade. Per Adam’s instructions, I checked the system static pressure and performed a test by cutting an opening in the return box to determine the amount of static pressure drop. After the duct replacement, static pressure remains high, and the system is still experiencing the same V3 error. I contacted Adam and provided all findings. Per the previous game plan, the next step is to add an additional return inside the house to improve airflow and reduce static pressure. Customer is available this coming Friday, October 2, to complete the additional return. At this time, the system is operating properly and cooling. The system will continue to be monitored until the additional return is installed.

Performed preventive maintenance contract service on garage mini-split system. Cleaned the drain line and drain pan, treated the drain pan with Viper, and rinsed the condenser coil. Checked system pressures, superheat, temperature split, compressor amperage, and overall system electrical amperage. Removed, cleaned, and reinstalled the air filter.

Performed drain line repair inside the return box. Opened the front wood frame of the return box to create proper access and complete the repair. Upon inspection, found the PVC drain elbow had never been properly glued. Cleaned the drain line and PVC 90° fitting, then reconnected and properly glued the PVC drain line. Tested the drain by pouring approximately one gallon of water through the system. Water flowed properly to the exterior drain with no leaks or restrictions. Tested system operation and confirmed the system is draining properly at this time. Return box does not have duct board; it is constructed with foam board around the box. Reassembled the return box and installed the return stamped grille. Customer was satisfied with the completed repair.

Performed diagnostic on upstairs Lennox system. Customer advised that a technician was at the property a few days ago but did not find any equipment issues. Customer stated the previous technician removed and reinstalled the thermostat, after which the system resumed normal operation. No history for the previous visit was available on the current service order. I contacted the office and spoke with Adam, who confirmed that the previous technician had the incorrect address listed on the service order. Due to the previous service issue and incorrect documentation, Adam waived the diagnostic fee. Upon inspection and testing, found the condenser fan motor with tight bearings and operating over its rated amperage. Recommended condenser fan motor replacement. Customer approved the repair. Replaced condenser fan motor and installed a new 10 MFD capacitor. Tested system operation after the repair and checked system pressures, subcooling, superheat, temperature split, and condensate drainage

Service call - 2010 Rheem - not cooling - verified issue, found condenser breaker tripped on arrival. Inside condenser found compressor plug had been blown off, plug is melted and compressor pins damaged. Electrical short caused plug to blow out, failed compressor would need replaced. System is a 2010, would not make sense to repair due to cost of compessor replacement. Recommend replacement of system.

Performed first preventive maintenance visit under the Cub Club maintenance agreement. Cleaned the system drain line and drain pan, applied evaporator treatment, and rinsed the condenser coil while removing debris from inside the condenser. System is operating and draining properly at this time. Customer expressed concern about black residue on the air filter, around the air handler, and excessive dust throughout the home. Investigated possible sources and found significant debris/dust accumulation inside the return box, indicating possible return-air leakage. The home also has a fresh-air module located near the front door. Customer burns scented products near the front of the home, and the fresh-air module is operating, which can introduce these scents and particles into the HVAC system. Staining consistent with the scents was observed around the supply vents. During the equipment inspection, found the blower wheel and evaporator coil heavily dirty, along with bacterial growth insi

Performed a diagnostic on a Rheem 3-ton system, installed in 2016 and currently out of warranty. Customer is the third owner of the property. System was found low on refrigerant. Performed a complete leak search and found no leaks at the evaporator coil. During visual inspection of the condenser, found evidence of refrigerant leakage at the compressor. Due to the compressor leak and the overall condition of the system, the customer requested a proposal for a complete system replacement. Contacted the office and created a lead for Kenneth. Kenneth arrived on-site and completed the replacement proposal with the customer. Customer also discussed high temperatures in the garage, where an antique vehicle and musical equipment are stored. I recommended considering a dedicated mini-split system for the garage to provide proper temperature control and help protect the stored items. Kenneth was informed of this recommendation as well. At this time, the HVAC system is down due to low refrige

Performed diagnostic on newly installed 3-ton Goodman system due to high indoor humidity. Upon arrival, indoor humidity was approximately 60–66%. During the initial start-up, the system was calling for low stage, but the compressor was not operating. After adjusting the thermostat set point, the system started in high stage and operated normally. Inspected the outdoor unit and verified the low-voltage wiring. Found the first-stage and second-stage wiring reversed at the outdoor unit. Corrected the wiring and tested the system using the thermostat test mode. Verified stage operation separately: Stage 1 operates on low speed and Stage 2 operates on high speed as designed. Allowed the system to operate for several minutes and monitored indoor humidity. Humidity decreased from approximately 66% to 61% and continued trending downward. System is currently removing humidity properly. Checked system pressures, temperature split, operation, and condensate drainage. All readings and operatio

Performed a diagnostic on a 5-ton Carrier zone system serving two thermostats, one for the downstairs and one for the upstairs. Upon inspection, found the 3/4 HP ECM blower motor not operating. Performed a complimentary leak search on the evaporator coil and found multiple refrigerant leaks in the coil. Quoted the customer for evaporator coil replacement, blower motor replacement, drain line cleaning, and refrigerant. The customer also requested a proposal for complete system replacement. The system is from 2011 and is approximately 15 years old. Contacted the office and created a lead for Kenneth to prepare a new-system proposal, including the zone damper system. Customer is experiencing room-temperature differences, and the existing zone damper system may require replacement to help prevent future zoning and temperature-control issues. Customer was informed and understands the recommendation. At this time, the system is temporarily down.
